Stories about the rebuilding of a basketball program typically come in two forms. There is the hopeful narrative, written when a new coach takes over, his ambitions and philosophies detailed in full. Then there is the retrospective, composed after the program has found glory or when that coach is fired, his methods either praised or vilified.
Brian Kelly At a news conference Friday in South Bend, Indiana, the University of Notre Dame is expected to announce that Kelly has signed a five-year contract to become the Irish's fifth coach this decade -- the worst in Notre Dame's history, with a 70-52 record. Kelly won two Big East titles as head coach at the University of Cincinnati. The son of an alderman in Chelsea, Massachusetts, Kelly worked on Gary Hart's 1984 presidential campaign in the Boston area and had considered a career in politics.
Three years into his job as head coach at Saint Louis University, it's clear that this gig might be the toughest of the five coaching jobs Rick Majerus has held since he broke into the game as a student assistant on Al McGuire's Marquette staff nearly 40 years ago.
NEW YORK -- The most undeniable evidence of the athleticism gap between UConn and Duke came seven minutes and 11 seconds into Friday's NIT Season Tip-Off final at Madison Square Garden. Huskies point guard Kemba Walker -- the quickest player on either roster, by far -- stripped the ball from the Blue Devils' plodding center, Brian Zoubek, in the post, turned and whipped it upcourt to Stanley Robinson. The UConn forward known as "Sticks" proceeded to finish a one-on-none fast break with no mere dunk, but rather a windmilled, exclamatory statement that put his team up 16-14.
All year, the talk in South Carolina has been about the Brynes duo of Marcus Lattimore and Brandon Willis. Now, the Palmetto State is seeing another star rising in Irmo High's Mustafa Greene.
DUNCAN, S.C. -- They stood in a circle at midfield last Friday night chanting "864" at the top of their lungs. Byrnes High football players kept repeating their area code because, finally, they could begin thinking about a school from a different area code.
DESTIN, Fla. -- For all intents and purposes, oversigning in big-time college football is over. On Friday, the SEC, home to seven schools that signed more than 25 players this past February, passed a rule limiting its member schools to a maximum of 28 signees a year.

President Obama delved into the abortion debate in a controversial Notre Dame commencement address Sunday, calling for a search for common ground on one of the most divisive issues in American politics.
University of Notre Dame senior Emily Toates, like many in the Catholic faith, is angry over her school's decision to give President Obama an honorary degree at this weekend's commencement.
President Obama this weekend will become the ninth sitting U.S. president to deliver the commencement speech at the University of Notre Dame, but none of the others has touched off the firestorm of Obama's appearance.
The Catholic bishop of South Bend, Indiana, will not attend graduation ceremonies at the University of Notre Dame because he disagrees with the stem-cell research and abortion views of the commencement speaker -- President Obama.
According to business school tradition, the route to the top involves a mid-career hiatus to take an MBA before forging ahead into the boardroom. But there is another way -- the undergraduate path.

Every year, the drumbeat among market pundits starts in late fall, reaching a crescendo around Martin Luther King Jr. Day: You can make a killing by buying small stocks low in December and selling them high in January. History "proves" that the January effect will beat the market.
While an MBA might be seen as the standard passport to big business success, increasing numbers of young students are now looking at a more direct route to the top: undergraduate business degrees.
Archie Chaney, 33, picked up an interest in investing when he was still in college at the University of Notre Dame. And that has helped him become a serious saver at an age when a lot of us are jus...
